Research progress in chemical composition and pharmacological effects of Conioselinum vaginatum and prediction of its quality markers
Objective To study the chemical components and pharmacological effects of Conioselinum vaginatum,and predict the quality markers.Methods The literature related to the chemical composition and pharmacological research of C.vaginatum were consulted and summarized.Moreover,its quality markers were predicted from 4 aspects:plant phylogeny and chemical component specificity,traditional efficacy and clinical application,chemical component effectiveness,and chemical component testability.Results C.vaginatum mainly contains volatile oils,phenylpropanoids,aromatic compounds,and has been found to possess the pharmacological effects,such as reducing transaminase,immunosuppression,anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant activities.In addition,ligustilide and myristicin could be used as quality indicators.Conclusion This paper provides ideas and references for the systematic research on the quality evaluation of C.vaginatum,and the establishment of a more scientific and comprehensive quality control system.
